I’m not sure I’ve lamented it much in this space through the years, but I should have. I’ve long thought Boston’s regional cable networks should do more to emphasize the history of their teams and the threads that connect the past to present.
Maybe it wouldn’t be cost-effective for, say, NESN to produce an extensive video library of biographies of past Red Sox and Bruins players (similar to what the Yes Network does with its Yankeeographies, which are excellent despite the subject matter). But it would make for appealing programming in the hours when there are no live games.
